Tell us a little bit about yourself! I'm Kimberly, a 27 year old hairdresser and I live in Anchorage, Alaska. Music is a huge passion of mine. My dad, older brother and I love going to concerts. I went to a metal festival with them in Sacramento this last year, it was amazing. My dad goes harder in the pit than I do. We don’t have many concerts in Alaska so I travel to them when I can. My local record store is just a few doors down from my work so I’m in there quite often. About two years ago I bought my first record there before I had a turntable. I’ve been a collector ever since.

First album:Metric’sSynthetica. It’s an album that means a lot to me.

Favorite album:This is always such a tough question. I’d have to go with any album from Brand New and The Decemberists -Picaresque

Favorite Enjoy The Ride or Enjoy The Toons release: Something Corporate -Leaving Through The Window - I have the clear variant

Favorite album artwork: Any album from The Decemberists. Colin Meloy’s wife, Carson Ellis is super talented.
